Wedding hog roast for Warsash
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wedding in Warsash, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

FAQs for Warsash
Is Warsash close to London?
About 68 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast in Hamble Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Permission for outside catering
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
